Good trade of the 32nd pick. They get a higher pick in a future draft. Possibly on the next draft.

3 first would be nice

Agreed, best part of the night for Flyers was the #32 trade

What are the conditions. I’m assuming Oilers get to pick the year.

Watch them add another team to the league and the Oilers win the cup. Pick is number 33

It might actually be a good move because the Oilers have so many UFAs it’s unlikely they’ll repeat a cup run with a bunch of new faces.

Flyers will just do something dumb with the pick anyway unfortunately

They got a crap load of picks next season - 3-1sts, 2-2nds, 2-3rds.

The last trade can’t possibly cause you to gripe. It’s extremely likely the pick will be below 32.

Can’t even complain about getting a third for one spot.

What you can complain about is the talent evaluation and reaching to draft for a position of need instead of best player available. That decision very well might haunt them.

Hey Danny you dumb fuq if that’s what you were gonna do you should’ve traded down again from 13 and again and again.

Then traded bee tk laughts all in deals for picks in next years draft and loaded the fuq up.


Then sucked this year coming up to add your pick top 5 and went crazy at next years draft when it’s a great draft.

Instead you draft a middling player at 13 years upon years away and will be drafting roughly same spot next year.

It’s a poop move. They hold picks like 13/25/28 next year. To draft more middling players without high end talent. This team sucks

Might be 3 2nds for next year depending on what Columbus decides in the next hour.

Whoopie do they got a 3rd…. Don’t say I told you so when Zeev blows up. Now if Zeev wasn’t sitting there I get it… still would not like the reach of Jett but you don’t pass Zeev up there

Did the Comcast PR team make this pick. Jesus.

Oilers will have easy path to round 2 minimum. That pick will be 25 or lower minimum.

Actually the trade was good with Edmonton....even if they win the cup next year that #32 will be in a deeper draft, now they have a chance to get an even better pick if Edmonton has a slump...maybe they get #18 next year.

If they would of taken Buium and made the trade I would of given them an A rating, instead they get a C-

Very true. I must write re signing TK makes even less sense now. If Jett is the right pick (not a given), the earliest he will be in the NHL is 2 years from now. Probably closer to 3 yrs- he still is not 18. 3 1sts - sure does not suggest a quick retool. Very mixed signals right now.

If they try to make moves to make the playoffs next year all those picks go to waste.

After their 1rst round tonight I’m not seeing a GM that’s inspiring much confidence….no player trades…a reach for a guy. A buyout because of warm and fuzzy feelings. A bad day.

Hey you don’t gotta tell me that. I’ve been saying now is the time to get elite talent.

Mr.Playoffs is gonna be Mr.Layoffs with another night like this.
